I was embarrassed when people came over.

Because my porch is in need of a makeover.  And I love me a good makeover.  So, my mom found this bench at a garage sale for like, $10 a year ago.  I spray painted it black and found these...pillows...on clearance at Lowe's.  They didn't fit, but I kept them anyway.  The bottom pillow was flimsy and you felt like you were about to fall through.  So...off to the fabric store I went.

Pathetic.  I know.

After spending a bit more than I expected (do you know how much FOAM costs????) I finally set to work.  I stayed up way too late and even gave up a nap.  Now, I can use a staple gun but a sewing machine?  We have had some fights in the past. 

So after a few hours and thankfully not having to figure out how to "wind a bobbin", I put together these pillows!!  Just don't look too close at the hand stitching - it's terrible.  Looks much better, yes??

I LOVE IT!!! Now that you don't fall through the bottom when sitting on our bench, I feel much better.  Now to work on my door wreath and other corner of the porch.  I might just have to wait for when it's less than 100 degrees out.
